Expression of Salivary Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 in Periodontitis Patients

Pakistan Journal of Medicine and Dentistry
Background: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the destruction of supporting oral tissues. The condition involves unique host responses within the oral environment, including the production of selected matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and certain inflammatory mediators that take part in tissue remodeling.

Fibroblast Activation Protein Promotes Thoracic Aortic Dissection via PLAUR/ITGB1‐Mediated Pro‐inflammatory Macrophage Polarization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that FAP promotes thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) through a nonenzymatic mechanism involving fibroblast‐macrophage crosstalk via the FAP/PLAUR/ITGB1/FAK axis. Targeting this pathway might offer a promising therapeutic strategy for TAD.

Protease‐Activated Plasmonic Nanosensors for Predictive Ultrasound‐Guided Photoacoustic Imaging of Tumor Responses to Adoptive T Cell Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Protease‐activated plasmonic nanosensors are demonstrated to noninvasively monitor antitumor T cell activity in tumors with anatomical information upon adoptive T cell transfer via ultrasound‐guided photoacoustic imaging. These nanosensors are actuated by granzyme B, a protease secreted by activated cytotoxic T cells during tumor cell killing, which ...

Targeting Lactate and Lactylation in Cancer Metabolism and Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lactate, once deemed a metabolic waste, emerges as a central regulator of cancer progression. This review elucidates how lactate and its epigenetic derivative, protein lactylation, orchestrate tumor metabolism, immune suppression, and therapeutic resistance.

IL‐4/STAT6‐signaling Influences Local Inflammation and Regeneration Processes During Acute Pancreatitis and Promotes Fibrosis by a Direct Activation of Pancreatic Fibroblasts During Chronic Pancreatitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
IL‐4/IL‐13/STAT6 signaling plays a crucial for the suppression of pro‐inflammation during acute pancreatitis and supports acinar cell regeneration but has only minor impact on fibrogenesis during chronic form of the disease. IL‐4/IL‐13 induce the expression of certain collagens directly in pancreatic fibroblasts via STAT6 activation, whereas ...

Stimuli‐Responsive Supramolecular Biomaterials for Cancer Theranostics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The ultimate goal of cancer theranostics is to get imaging agents and therapeutic cargo to tumor sites when and where they are required. “Smart” systems should be developed. This review discusses the characteristics of physiological stimuli, types and action modes of external stimuli, construction approaches and working principles, as well as ...
